Alcor is fitted with the Avago 3090 optical sensor while Mizar utilizes the Avago 9800 laser sensor. Both sensors are tuned for gaming with high speed actions and very precise tracking.

Switched between these DPI levels can be done on-the-fly conveniently and quickly to ensure that gamers don't interrupt their gaming and gain the competitive edge. The Alcor uses long life Omron switches to ensure that it will keep up with even the most rigorous and long fought battles. In addition, a multi-color LED illuminated CM Storm logo makes identifying the current DPI level an easy task.

The Mizar utilizes the Avago 9800 laser sensor with a DPI range up to 8200. Four convenient DPI levels can be easily accessed by two on-the-fly DPI adjustment buttons positioned for easy access near the scroll wheel. The Mizar features reinforced rubber side pads located on both sides to ensure extra grip for gamers during ultra high action gaming. The Mizar comes with software that will let you adjust the DPI, profiles, the multi color LED CM Storm logo and allows control of all the fully programmable 7 buttons to assign functions and macros.

Alcor and Mizar are available on the Cooler Master webshop and will be available in channel in the coming weeks for a MSRP of €35,- for the Alcor and €45,- for the Mizar.
